The European Community has stopped importing apples from the United States and some other countries, a European Community spokeswoman said. The 12-nation trading bloc imposed import quotas on apples this year, and North America reached its limit of 17,600 metric tons in late April, Ella Krucoff, the spokeswoman, said Wednesday in an interview in Washington. The quotas will remain in place until Aug. 31, the end of the current apple season, she said.
